VIDEO: Anderson Cooper Talks "Gaydar" with David Letterman

No one can say Anderson Cooper doesn't have a sense of humor about being gay.

The CNN anchor, who came out in an open letter earlier this year, spoke candidly — and hilariously — about his sexual orientation during an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman Friday.

At one point Cooper, whose own daytime talk show was recently canceled, joked that he was drunk after downing a glass of Scotch that Letterman had poured at the start of the interview — prompting Letterman to attempt a congratulatory fist-bump.

"Dave, I'm gay," Cooper told him. "We don't do this kind of thing."

"I wish I had a nickel for every time I've heard that in my life," Letterman responded.
